How big is your......."Gauge"?

[el jefe]

I thought this might be a good reference for some newbies.
Currently using:
22ga x 1" for quads
22ga x 1.5" for glutes
25ga x 5/8 for bi's, tri's, chest ect.
I prefer larger gauge sizes for oil based test but usually switch to a 23ga with water based. Everyone add your preferences and personal experiences with large and small needles.

I use 21g 1/5 for everything.

1/5 of an inch??? Wasn't aware that they made 1/5" needles.

I personally use 23G 1.5" needles. Anything will pass through them. For site injections I use a 25G 1" needle...

 

[Big Buck]

23 g, 1.5 in

 

[badass_R1]

Sorry guy's I ment 1.5.

 

[Androl]

ok, here we go.... i'm using a harpoon !
20gauge 1.5in pins ! Ouch that hurts, i've tried some 23 g but never been able to draw my Omna in it. Do you guys use 20g to draw and 23 to shoot ? i did'nt try that, let me know cause 20g hurts the hell out of me !

 

[talonracer]

Dude its hurting for two reasons......first its a harpoon.....second if you are using them to draw before you shoot you may be dulling the needle. Even if you are using amps. When you scrape the bottom to get that last bit of juice the needle is dulled. Get some 18 guage needles to draw OR just pick up some 23 guage to shoot with and use your 20 guage to draw with.

I used to rely on 1in. 23g's for everything, but after corresponding with Bill Roberts now I'm using 25g 5/8 pins with great success for everything. No scar tissue damage, and work fine if you're willing to spend a minute or 3 shooting and have low bodyfat levels. As an athlete I don't wish to sacrifice performance with scar tissue accumulation. Also, there is zero pain no matter where I shoot using 25g pinz.

i usually use 25 gauge 1" for water and 23 gauge 1" for oil. I'm a thin thing and the one time I used 1.5 my ass hurt for a week! must have hit a nerve. But I'm a girl and I'm a wuss... LMAO... Peech

Peeches...what do you look like?..maybe I could help you with those glute injections. The only problem is I have only have an 8 " syringe

 

[RacerX]

I use B-D 20G 1.5" for oil base and 27G 5/8" for Gh when I'm on that.

 

[MUSTANG_18]

BD 22g 1.5" for my glutes.

M18

 

[jericho]

I use 23ga 1.5" for my glutes. I want to start doing quad injections though and still have half a box of the 1.5". Can I use the 1.5" for my quads.

 

[atwa]

all oil 22g

 

[badass_R1]

I just keep it simple. Pain isn't always a bad thing.

 

[BONZ^]

I use 18g to draw, 22g to shoot.
